Refining Right Ventricular Assessment in Pulmonary Hypertension: Impact of Postprocessing Techniques on Cardiac MRI Metrics

This study examines how cardiac MRI postprocessing methods, including trabeculation exclusion and pulmonary artery flow measurement sites, significantly influence right ventricular volume and function assessment in pulmonary hypertension patients, affecting risk stratification and remodeling evaluation.

Long-Term Visual Field Outcomes in Eyes with Failed Trabeculectomy: Evaluating Repeat Trabeculectomy versus Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation

This retrospective cohort study compares visual field progression after repeat trabeculectomy versus Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in eyes with prior trabeculectomy failure, revealing similar postoperative visual outcomes but greater intraocular pressure reduction with repeat trabeculectomy.

Evaluating Stroke Risk in Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Transcarotid Artery Revascularization versus Carotid Artery Stenting

This comparative analysis assesses ischemic stroke outcomes in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS), highlighting no significant difference in stroke risk between the two interventions over four years.

Early Life Vascular Risk and Midlife Markers of Brain Aging: Insights from Longitudinal Neuroimaging and Cognitive Trajectory Studies

This review synthesizes longitudinal evidence linking early adulthood vascular risks, particularly elevated systolic blood pressure and smoking, to midlife cognitive decline and brain structural alterations. It highlights critical intervention windows and neuroimaging biomarkers indicative of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative injury.
